It has always been my belief that we can lead a preventative lifestyle by eating healthful foods, being active, living mindfully and learning to deal with stress, then even if one gets seriously sick at some point – being preventative… Continue Reading

A friend shared this great article on vegetable oils and I wanted to “file” it on my blog. I love coconut oil, we use it for cooking, as a skin moisturizer, for oil pulling, brushing teeth, etc. We also use a lot of olive oil in salads, and we eat a lot of salads, as well as avocado… Continue Reading

As most of my readers know I have been diagnosed with three autoimmune conditions (Celiac, LP, and LPP) back in 2010. I was able to keep them all under control and from progressing through diet, proper nutrition, lifestyle changes, and stress management/mindful living. I am lucky too, as for the last 7 years I was… Continue Reading

MORNING PAGES SAMPLE. Finally, I had time to type up the first part of my particularly special experience with morning pages.

“Do I want the present moment to be my friend or my enemy?” The present moment is inseparable from life, so you are really deciding what kind of relationship you want to have with life.” (Oneness With All Life) This quote is amazing and so clear.

The video is below and you can also read the whole message on NaturalNews.com From NaturalNews.com: “Ron Paul’s recent farewell speech is arguable the single most important speech in American history.

Here is a little glimpse into our daily family life. An email I had to send out today and still feel funny about. An incident in my daughter’s school, she is a freshman. Should I have let the issue slide, ignored it? Could I have been more compassionate in the email? I do not know, but it felt true and it… Continue Reading

I do not even know where to begin. Emotions are overflowing. Emotions of disbelieve, shock, betrayal, guilt… What happened? I simply watched a movie – Genetic Roulette and it blew my mind.

By The Work of Byron Katie If I didn’t have money, I would do whatever it took to pay my bills. I just wouldn’t need a plan about how that was going to look. It would come to me to mop floors, to clean houses, and I’d love doing that. And one thing would lead… Continue Reading

This quote has the most profound meaning for me now. ByronKatie: “Ultimately, I am all I can know.” I would only add for myself that I am all I can know – in this moment, as I can not even know myself in the next moment… feels true to me…

This is a very important quote for me. Helps me to remember. It is about giving up control, not resisting, going with the flow, loving or at the very least accepting what is, and here you are – present, leaving in the moment. RT @ByronKatie Being present means living without control and always having your needs… Continue Reading

Isn’t it a tradition to make a wish, or two, or many…on Christmas night and/or New Year’s Eve. Well it is interesting I thought, that today I read a post on Facebook about wishes people make, and I realized I have not made any. Is it good? Bad? Well I think that the fact that I did not wish for anything,… Continue Reading
